How to Teach Continuing Medical Education

‘Continuing medical education’ – the education and training of postgraduate doctors – is an increasingly important topic. Recent changes in postgraduate training programmes have reemphasised the need for teaching and learning to be focused and structured. Continuing medical education encompasses:

• Knowledge of the some theories of adult learning
  
• Teaching Design and Presentation
  
• Lectures
  
• Workshops and discussion groups
  
• Role play and simulated scenarios
  
• Skills teaching
  
• Clinical teaching
  
• E-learning

How to Teach Continuing Medical Education is based around each of these modalities. This book will introduce the reader to the background of educational theories followed by chapters with practical tips to put into practice.

This practical and easily accessible book in the popular BMJ ‘How To’ series is the ideal introduction for clinical teachers, medical educators, and those tasked with organising training programmes.
